| Friday & Saturday, June 4 & 5, 8pm The ishmaeLites' "Comin' Home to Indiana" | ||
The ishmaeLites are a band that includes descendants of people who travelled in an annual route in the American Midwest in the 19th century. Going by the Indiana hamlets of Mecca and Morocco, passing the Illinois village of Mahomet, the so-called "Tribe of Ishmael" was among the first to settle Indianapolis--which was also their winter home. Due to their fondness for music and dance and the fact that they travelled in caravans, they were called "gypsies" by Main Street society. The real-life model for the character "Little Orphan Annie" was such a "gypsy" girl. In the 20th century, the caravans were stopped and the "tribe" disappeared. A new book, "Inventing America's 'Worst' Family," details how the eugenics movement turned the Ishmaels and others into a "race" that had to be exterminated. "Comin' Home To Indiana" is a theatrical cycle of 22 songs that tell the story of these nomads. James Fenimore Cooper and Booth Tarkington both put them into novels, but this isn't a work of fiction. Immediately after the Saturday show, the ishmaeLites will board a golden bus and travel to Indiana for a homecoming tour that has been a century in the making. http://www.myspace.com/theishmaelites | heishmaelites@gmail.com Admission: $10 |

| Monday, 12/21 8pm WINTER SOLSTICE with METAL & GLASS ENSEMBLE! | ||
A Winter Solstice Celebration with The Metal and Glass Ensemble Peter Warren: bowed metal, Heather Townsend: glass, Metal & Glass Ensemble is a Boston-based improvisational group with rotating membership. We create acoustic drone-based music with bowed cymbals and other metal objects, and glasses tuned to a just-intoned 23-note octave. This just scale, employing whole-number ratios akin to a natural harmonic overtone series, is the only formal tuning used in the group. The bowed metal generates its own shifting but interrelated pitch classes, while the instrumental players contribute using a variety of microtonal intonations. In this way the music is liberated from the 12-tone equal-tempered octave, and explores a broad spectrum of harmonic relationships. The ensemble uses a structured improvisational scheme (such as a chart or graphic score) to give each performance a specific form. In some cases the structure is conceptual, expressed through verbal imagery. The music itself evolves gradually over time, often conveying a meditative quality. Tickets: $10 at the door |

| Sunday, 12/20, 4pm THE WINTER SOLSTICE IN LEGEND AND SONG | ||
The Winter Solstice in Legend and Song Celebrate the season with myths and music that reveal the hidden meanings behind our holiday traditions. This unique performance features unusual solstice legends from Greece (The Halcyon Days of Peace), Scandinavia (Legend of the Mistletoe), and England (Apple Tree Man). As darkness descends we'll travel through the time of the longest nights with story and music as our guides, enjoying Native American lore about the evergreens, haunting legends of light and humorous stories all set against a lush background of music on Celtic harp, synthesizer, accordion and voice. $15 admission at the door. |

| Saturday, 12/12, 8pm CHORO DEMOCRATICO | ||
Third Life Studio welcomes back Brazilian choro ensemble Choro Democrático! Choro is a uniquely Brazilian musical genre that began to develop in Rio de Janeiro during the late 1800's as musicians combined European musical styles such as polka and waltz with lively local rhythms. Choro is typically played in a roda de choro (circle jam session), in homes, cafes or restaurants where anyone can join in. Choro Democrático is a seven-piece ensemble that includes flute, bandolim (mandolin), violin, cavaquinho (treble guitar), six and seven-string guitar, and hand percussion. This Boston-based group has a devoted following of fans and has performed sold-out shows at the Regattabar, Ryles Jazz club, Harvard Art Museums, Middlesex Community College and Bridgewater State College and hosts an open roda de choro once a month at Luna Café in Cambridge, MA. Their repertoire ranges from standard choro compositions by Pixinguinha and Jacob do Bandolim to more modern works by Hermeto Pascoal and the group's flautist, Fernando Brandão. This show at Third Life Studio will also feature some special guest musicians. For more info: http://chorodemocratico.googlepages.com Tickets: $15 at the door |

Jennifer Hicks The Boston Butoh Series is bringing together and highlighting, for the first time, Greater Boston's Butoh-influenced artists. Each artist will have one evening on a bi-montly basis to perform and present their work. The series was conceptualized with the intent to bring cohesiveness to this diverse community and to educate our audiences about its local experimental arts community. There will be opportunities to listen to the artists speak about their work and artistic vision as it relates to their training in Butoh. Designed as an event, the audience is invited to partake in refreshments and interaction with the artists, producer, and other audience members after each show. |

One of the beauties of the Enneagram system of self-discovery is that there is always the opportunity to learn more. There is no better way to do this than attending groupsled by a facilitator skilled in the time-honored “narrative tradition”: a method in which participants tell their stories from the point of view of their own Enneagram type. You will learn about yourself, the automatic behaviors of others, and ways to shift to more productive means of interacting with the world around you. Participants will learn from the facilitator and each other through the sharing of stories and practical exercises.
